A 20-year-old Canton man accused of robbing and raping a pizza delivery woman will have his case heard by a Stark County grand jury.

And the 16-year-old suspect in the same case may be tried as an adult.

Jeremy Joseph, 20, of Canton, waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday in Canton Municipal Court, and his case will be sent to a grand jury.

He is being held in the Stark County Jail on a $2 million bond.

An indictment — if the grand jury decides there is enough evidence for a trial — should take 30 to 60 days to issue, according to the city prosecutor's office.

Joseph is charged with rape, kidnapping and aggravated robbery. The teen boy faces juvenile counts of the same charges.

In mid-January, the 33-year-old woman delivered a pizza to a vacant house on 14th Street NE at about 7 p.m.

She was robbed at gunpoint by two males, placed into the trunk of her vehicle and driven around before they stopped at a wooded area on 17th Street NE, according to police. The woman also was sexually assaulted.

The victim was left without clothes and noticed by a passer-by, who drove her to her house to get clothing and then to Aultman Hospital for treatment.

Also Wednesday, the 16-year-old boy had a hearing in Stark County Family Court.

A probable cause hearing is set for Feb. 4 to determine if the boy will be tried in adult court.

The juvenile also has robbery and theft charges pending in another case, according to the prosecutor's office.
